HARVARD 7, LOUISIANA 0

The Crimson started the weekend on a strong note with wins at all three doubles positions against Louisiana (11-8) on Friday. Tao and Yeung swept at first doubles, Peters and Thirouin at second doubles, and Morrow and Weber managed to edge out their opponents in a tiebreaker at third doubles.

On the singles side, Harvard continued its dominance across the ladder. Tao made quick work of his opponent in a 6-2, 6-0 victory at first singles.

“I was a little shaky coming into the weekend after not doing as well as I hoped over break, and it was reaffirming and a big confidence boost to sweep this weekend,” Tao said. The California native ended the weekend 2-0 in singles play.

Thiruoin, Yeung, Zhou, and Morrow also claimed straight-set victories at second, third, fourth, and sixth singles, respectively. Solomon managed to edge out his opponent at fifth singles to give Harvard a clean sweep.

With co-captain Sebastian Beltrame still recovering from an injury and others struggling to remain healthy across the roster, the team is hoping for the best as Ivy play approaches.

“A lot of our results will depend if we can stay healthy throughout,” Tao said. “Going into Ivies, I think we have a good shot.”
